~Treats for Madison's Class~

Here they are. The last of the school treats for the end of the year.
For Madison's class we made gumball bouquets.
These turned out really cute!


And they were so easy to make,


That's it, school is done! Bring on the summer!

~Treats for Avery's Class~

Avery was very excited to give these out to her classmates.
They are chocolate bars and gum packets with homemade wrappers to give them a personal touch.





Probably, not a real good idea to give out gum and chocolate bars to a bunch of kids on a Friday afternoon, but oh well I'm not the one that had to deal with them!
2 down, 1 to go...

~Treats for Caleb's Class~

I started with a pack of mini bubbles
Some lollipops
Elastic bands
And of course, some homemade tags :-)
I attached the tags to the bubbles using an elastic through the hole
Then tucked the lollipop under the elastic
And there you go...an end of school treat to hand out to JK's
However, the lollipops made them a little top heavy and they kept falling over!

Oh well, the kids won't care!

These were so easy to make, took maybe 15 mins to assemble. Cost? The party pack of 24 bubbles was $7.00, the lollipops were from the dollar store, 20 for $1.00. So $8.00 to make 20 to giveaway. That's $0.40 cents each!

Keep checking back, I will be adding Avery's idea tomorrow.

~I'm excited...~

So I have finally figured out the end of year treats that each of the kids are going to be taking to school. I won't share them right now, as I have not started them yet but definately within the next week I will have the pics up. And yes, this is what I am excited about, it really doesn't take much ;-)
The idea I have come up with for Caleb's class is one that I have done in the past for Madison's gr 1 class. I have already finished the tags for that one and just have to assemble them.
Avery and Madison's treats are something new. I still need to do some desktop publishing for both of them. I will share the templates when I do.
Wow, only 2 more weeks of school. The kids are pumped to be done and have some time to relax.
I will be updating more in the next week, what with all the treats and then Avery's recital next weekend.
Hope everyone has a good week!

~A Busy Month~

Once upon a time there was a story of...

...and...

Little Miss Busy and Mr Busy also had 3 wonderful children who kept them even busier...

The month of June in the Hendry household is always a busy month for us. Every weekend in June has something going on. The kids are gearing up to be out of school soon, and end-of-year trips are in the next few weeks. Extracurriculars are coming to a close, with the finale being Avery's dance recital on June 26th. We are busy, busy, busy! As is everyone else I am sure. We are all busy in our own ways.
But you know what? I love it! It keeps us moving and something to look forward to.
Somewhere in there, we also have to fit in the projects around the house and I have to find some time to make the year end treats for the kids classes.
Maybe we can give up some of our sleep time...sleep is over-rated...right?
